I chat to a couple of friends and my sisters, one of whom lives in New Zealand so much cheaper and easier chatting via MSN than on the phone.

I could chat to my brother in Canada, if he had msn. He seems to have a pc phobia though

I should be getting ready for church. Speak to you later.

I've got to go get the papers

I've just done the hovering, put the dinner on and washed up the breakfast things. I'm having a rest now till the second lot of washing is ready to hang out.

I seem to ahve spent all moring cleaning and washing...other half has escaped to football in London!

Ive cut the dogs fur.

I need to bath them now Im just having a break before I start

My dog hates being bathed. It's something I avoid. It seems to remind him of his previous life.

Aww, he must have had a bad experience being bathed. Does he like water otherwise - rivers, puddles etc?

He can't stand it (except to drink, and he's not even too sure about that) He goes mad if he has to step in a puddle and panicks if I want him to cross a stream.

awww thats a shame for him.

Charlie isnt very fussed on a bath but he doesnt mind puddles

and patch quite likes it.

Gosh he is very frightened of water, poor thing. Must be hard if it starts raining when you're out walking him.

thunder storm is a nightmare and heavy rain which fllods the path leaves him looking like Dobbie. In fact - I think he is the dog equivalent of Dobbie

Thunderstorms used to reduce my first dog to a quivering jelly, indoors or out ( the dog, not the storm)

It's not nice is it. Mine trys to get in the samllest space he can find - and isn't worried about what he breaks doing it. You end up just sitthing holding him for the duration of the storm.

Have you had a good drying day Nina.

it's been lovely here.

 

I must go sort mine out

Yes, it's been lovely here too. I should go and fetch it in now. Busy with Claire on MSN trying to help her write her UCAS/Cambridge personal statement but we seem to have digressed to reminiscence of when she was little.

But that's a lovely thing to do. It'll give her confidence as well.

It is no longer too hot, so I'm taking Dane out for his walk.

its a lovely summer evning here, very seaside feeling
